Gotta have the hyperbole, otherwise what's the point of mumsnet? I come on here to be shocked Shock at what's going on in the world. Shocked, I tell you, at the vile goings-on Shock

Can I clutch my pearls and think of the children or is it to late?

::always late to the party::

GuiltyPleasure · 18/03/2016 00:12

I'm so horrified, shocked & devastated that after ringing the 101 to report this I'm going to find a solicitor to give me a random 30 minutes of free advice

LoisWilkersonsLastNerve · 18/03/2016 00:13

I haven't heard ropeable before. I might try that tomorrow if anyone asks me to go their wedding or I need to drive my car and park it. Maybe dd's teacher will ask her to tie her own shoes or something.

LoisWilkersonsLastNerve · 18/03/2016 00:14

bibbity come back at half term Grin

GuiltyPleasure · 18/03/2016 00:17

& now I'm horrified at my own lack of grammar in my own post Blush *the101

BibbtyBobbityFeckOff · 18/03/2016 00:27

lois okay...

::slinks off::

guiltyPleasure you mean 111 right?

GreatFuckability · 18/03/2016 00:29

I'm crying at obnovious. The OED should immediately make that a real word.

Finola1step · 18/03/2016 00:37

Ropeable is going to be my new word, cheers Burst.

"I am effing Ropeable" or "I am incan-fucking-descent". Trying to work out which one suits me better in a head tilting S&B kind of way

GuiltyPleasure · 18/03/2016 00:38

Bibbity yes that's what I meant Confused. That really would be making a drama out of a situation!

TravellingLoon · 18/03/2016 00:45

I've been wanting to make this thread for so long now, I am utterly FUMING that you got there before me. Seriously, my piss is at boiling point now, I may well combust. Seething, tempestuous and incensed don't even BEGIN to describe how I'm feeling right now. I hope you're happy.

Finola1step · 18/03/2016 00:51

Travelling you are spot on. I'm thinking of reporting PaulAnka to MNHQ on your behalf. I'm raging. The cocklodger.

ThirtyNineWeeks · 18/03/2016 00:53

You want horrified? Go and read the 'fisting' thread and then Google the images

GarlicShake · 18/03/2016 00:54

Obnovious was today's best word. I've adopted it - gleefully, delightedly, over-the-moon-ly, ecstatically and orgasmically.

Three seconds ago I was discustard, shocked, pissed (god, I hate that!) outraged, fuming and had a cob on me.

Then I gave my head a wobble, took a chill pill, a long hard look at myself and a step back, simmered down and d.

There's nothing like enough hyperbole in this tedious, dull, boring, pedestrian, grumpy world. And you're right, it really should be pronounced high-per-bowl-eh!

GarlicShake · 18/03/2016 00:56

There's a fisting thread?!!! Shockx10! I can't even bear to think about that, let alone read a whole thread! Erk.

Absofrigginlootly · 18/03/2016 02:18

You are all Shock Just Shock

I'm going NC immediately with everyone I've ever met I'm JUST SO Shock

ClopySow · 18/03/2016 07:01

This thread is breath takingly, staggeringly outrageous.

WhatamessIgotinto · 18/03/2016 07:04

Vile, fuming, disgusted, etc. Normally over a parking space or similar. YANBU.

StillStayingClassySanDiego · 18/03/2016 07:06

What?, why isn't anyone agog yet?

RidersOnTheStorm · 18/03/2016 07:06

I'm a bit miffed. Does that count?

Igneococcus · 18/03/2016 07:07

Has nobody been absolutely gutted by this post yet?
